Dill pickles + Havarti dill cheese + tortilla = one dill-icious Dill Pickle Quesadilla. 

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I’m having a damn dilly day, thanks to this dill-icious Dill Pickle Quesadilla. And if you want to have yourself a damn dilly day, keep reading. This special quesadilla is unapologetically fun to eat. And might I recommend pairing it with a side of Chipotle Ranch for dipping? 

Dill Pickle Quesadilla

Three ingredients gets you on your way to enviable lunch goals: one big ass tortilla, one cup of shredded Havarti dill cheese, and pre-sliced dill pickle chips (I used Vlasic Dill Pickle Chips. This is an affiliate link so I may get a small commission on any purchases). Use whatever brands you like or happen to have on hand. 

How do you make a Dill Pickle Quesadilla?

To make this special quesadilla you will need the following:

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 extra large flour tortilla
  • 8-9 dill pickle slices I used Vlasic Dill Pickle Chips
  • 1 cup shredded Havarti cheese

INSTRUCTIONS 

  1. Heat griddle pan over medium heat.
  2. Put dill pickle slices on paper towels and cover to remove excess moisture. This is key to avoiding a soggy quesadilla.
  3. Lay tortilla on a cutting board. Sprinkle ½ a cup of shredded Havarti cheese over half of the tortilla.
  4. Strategically place dill pickle slices on top of the shredded cheese to ensure a pickle gets into nearly every hypothetical bite.
  5. Cover with the other ½ cup of shredded Havarti cheese. Fold the naked tortilla half onto the loaded half.
  6. Put onto the warm griddle and let cook for 4-5 minutes or so, checking the underside periodically. When the underside is all golden brown and crisp and the cheese melty, flip.
  7. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or so, until you’ve reached desired doneness.
  8. Remove from heat and cut into quarters. Enjoy with Creamy Chipotle Ranch (see Chipotle Ranch recipe below for a two-ingredient version that's super easy).

I chose to griddle this on a cast iron pan on the stovetop, but a grilled quesadilla is fantastic as well, weather permitting.

How do you make Chipotle Ranch?

This Chipotle Ranch recipe is the easiest! All you need are two ingredients:

  • 1 chipotle en adobo pepper plus 1 tablespoon chipotle en adobo sauce
  • ½ cup Ranch dressing (I used Hidden Valley Ranch)

Add chipotle en adobo pepper and sauce and Ranch dressing to a food processor. Process until well combined. Voila, the easiest Chipotle Ranch recipe ever!

I hope you have yourself a damn dilly day by making yourself a special quesadilla. Here’s how you make a Dill Pickle Quesadilla.
